Advice on best way to evict tenant (Nevada)

Advice on best way to evict tenant (Nevada)

Investor · Miami, FL · Member since 2013 · 807 posts · 475 votes

I have a long term tenant who has been a pain in the *** since day 1. He either pays rent at the end of the month or the month after its due.

He refuses to pay by any normal method and will only pay if someone physically collects it from him. He is an alcoholic and very abusive.

I already lost an awesome property manager as he didn't want to deal with the tenant. The PM would go to the unit 5 times to try to collect the rent before he actually had any success. The rent is only $350 a month so it's certainly not worth the time and hassle.

I want to evict him as soon as possible. He's currently 1.5 months behind in rent and has been issued yet another 5 day notice to pay or quit. This happens on a regular basis and he usually pays on the 5th day.

His lease is up on 5 July. Can I issue the tenant with a 'no cause' 30 day notice to vacate as of today? That would require him to vacate mid July. Also I assume that he won't pay July's rent and then won't leave. So on 3 July when the rent is overdue, should I issue a 5 day notice to pay or quit and proceed with the eviction that way?

He wasnt saying that particular PM, just a PM in the area. As for asking for someone else, a PM in the area will be able to give you a much better answer than someone here that doesnt live nor do business in the area.

    you need to speak with local PM in the county your property is located as process differs in each city. It's really easy in TX where I'm located...send a 3 day pay or quit then file eviction with local justice of peace precinct. Good luck

    Hey Jason, with respect I don't think it's appropriate to respond with a reply that I should go ask someone else. I was asking the folks on biggerpockets directly.

    In addition my post already mentions that the PM quit, so your response that I should ask my PM is nonsensical.

    I don't feel it's ethical to call a random PM who I don't employ or have a relationship with to request their time in giving me advice for free.

    Hence I put it to the biggerpockets community to ask for advice as that is what the forum is there for. A response to 'go ask someone else' isn't called for.

    Think maybe your taking something personally that wasnt meant to be personal.

    I'm not. I apologize if it came across that way. I just asked a sincere question for answers within the community and got told to go ask someone out of the community. Fair enough if someone can't offer advice but in that case, I'd say just don't answer at all.

    @Nat Chan Sorry you did not like my advice.  You need local expertise as subtle nuances in city/county eviction process can get you in trouble.  If a non-client called my company for advice I would certainly answer any questions they had and pay it forward. I'm sure there is a local PM or owner on BP in the area where your property is located that can help you out if they choose to. 

    Remember this is a people business. Good luck with your investing.

    I just did a 30 day no cause in Washoe County. I was advised by a local PM to file it 30 days before the lease expiration. I was not comfortable doing that so I took the paperwork to the Sheriff to be served on the 1st. I gave the tenant no reason and was requested a 30 day extension, which I granted. The tenant was out in a little over 5 weeks. The entire process went really smooth.

    Perhaps @Phil Dwyer can chime in. He is a Property Manager here in NV.

    @Robert Adams Thanks for the heads up.  I didn't see this in the forums till now.  

    @Nat C. If the lease is expiring, you could have given notice 30 days ago to be out at the end of the lease.  Now you may be obligated to deal with this guy for 30 more days.  At least you have an out now.  Give the 30 day notice to vacate.  I'd also consider giving the 5 day pay or quit as well if he doesn't pony up the current month's rent.  

    Good luck!
